Thanks to NetGalley, the publisher, and the author for the opportunity to read an advance copy of this book.

A Scottish time traveler? Yes please! Oh wait, you couldn't even tell where he was from - why no dialect written the way he would speak? Because you've got him speaking modern American words and phrases within 48 hours of "landing" in America, that's why. Daphne was awful - brash, potty mouthed, unprofessional, and for someone smart enough to make it through medical school, seemed kind of dumb. I liked her friends better than her. There was no chemistry between Henry and Daphne. Henry seemed to adapt to modern life WAY too fast. Great premise poorly executed.

The premise was AMAZING!! an 1885 Scot gets pulled into modern Minnesota and crashes into an ER resident and the book shines whenever it leans into fish-out-of-water fun and the warm, ride-or-die friend group. Henry’s wide-eyed awe at twenty-first-century life and the gentle unlearning of his old-world assumptions is charming, and the medical-residency details add texture without bogging things down.

Henry's a keeper but Daphne. OMG - so many issues with Daphne!

Where do I begin...The chemistry feels more told than shown, the pacing rushes from prickly to swoony, and Daphne’s brashness edges into off-putting instead of endearing. I would've believed it if she was more of a buddy to him and then he fell in love with someone else less mean to him. IDK - this FAILED as a romance but succeeded as a time travel book.

Loved this one! The mix of time travel, humor, and romance was just perfect! Daphne and Henry completely stole my heart!

Modern romance would appeal best to under 40 crowd. It's a light and quick read with some interesting characters.

Daphne Griffin is pursuing her life goal to become an emergency room (ER) doctor and is in the midst of her residency. On the way home from work she crashes into a man, named Henry MacDonald, who suddenly appeared. While checking him for injuries she asks the standard questions and he announces that the year is 1885. After further checks at the hospital she believes him and takes him home to see if her friends, who are also residency co-workers, can help. Cultural conflicts occur between Daphne and Henry but the friends take Henry under their wing and help him learn and adjust to the 21st century while they figure out how to send him back.

Personally I found the friends to be the most interesting characters. Nice to see solid recognition of nursing staff skills, a glimpse of ER duties, and the challenges of residency for new doctors. Nice twist at the end for the time travel aspect. Give it a 3.5 stars.

Review will be posted on Goodreads,etc.

This was a fun and easy read, which is what I expected from a shorter romance book. I enjoyed the time travel aspect, which reminded me of Christmas movies where the knight travels to the future by accident. Because of this, it was cosy and fun if a bit predictable at times, which isn’t a complete con in my opinion.

I enjoyed Daphne’s character and her journey in navigating her relationship with her work and with starting to date again. I also liked Henry, but I preferred other characters like Daphne’s friends. I’m Scottish, and some of Henry’s vocabulary was similar to the way the people around me speak, but there were times I questioned what he was saying and if it were something a Scottish man from 1885 would say.

I appreciated Daphne’s friends teaching Henry about more modern things like Britney Spears, and I enjoyed his interest in Jurassic Park. I also liked the through line of astrology and how it correlated with the time travel storyline.

The romance was sweet, but I didn’t completely swoon over it. I did love the comfortable, easy love that was portrayed, as it was what Daphne wanted at the start of the book and is in the end what they both deserved.

I would’ve loved to see what could be expanded on if this book were 50-100 pages longer, but it was a really sweet story within 223 pages, which I think many people who enjoy a light-hearted romance book will love.

Thank you to NetGalley and Elizabeth Davis for this ARC!

Daphne is working as an ER Doctor and on a much needed day off, she literally runs into Henry with her bike. At first she thinks she hit him pretty hard since he thinks he should be in Scotland in 1885.... But soon they realize he's not crazy and telling the truth. So with the help of some of her colleagues they try to figure out how to get Henry back to 1885. But once Daphne and Henry both admit their feelings, it makes the decision much harder.

Who wouldn't want a Scottish boyfriend from the 1800's....? I loved Henry right off the bat and the chemistry with Daphne. And it was adorable with him learning about the new world like him falling into a newsstand after seeing a car for the first time.... Super cute read and has a great ending!

This isn’t written in the style I usually prefer (Dual POV) but the premise of it was interesting.
The MMC Henry accidentally time travels and literally crashes into FMC Daphne. Her group of friends agree to try and help him get back to his time but they fall for each other.
There are some cute moments in this and it’s an easy read but I thought the pacing was off. Daphne really seemed to dislike him for no real reason then be in love with him quite quickly. I think there were a few times where the sexual tension could have been explored more before the love declaration. It’s a short book just over 200pages and I think some ideas could have been explored more.

3 Stars
This was a fun read! Perfect for a sick day or a rainy one.

(+)
- The ending, where we finally got to see Henry with his family.
- The funny moments when Henry struggled to understand the 21st century.
- The touch on America’s issues, even if it wasn’t explored in depth.

(-)
- The love story. This is a romance novel, but I didn’t really buy their love for each other.
- The book felt too short.

I enjoy a time travel romance, which is why I grabbed this one but unfortunately this book was not for me and I DNF'd it fairly early in. I had a hard time believing Henry was from the 19th century, and overall I was just not invested enough to keep going.

I don't usually rate DNFs but this platform requires a rating with reviews.

Time For You is Daphne and Henry’s story. Daphne is a resident in an Emergency Room. Henry mysteriously arrives in the ER. He has no physical injury. He mentions that he is from the late nineteenth century Scotland.

Daphne and her friends try to help Henry find his way back to his home. They learn that they try during the next solstice.

Daphne and Henry develop feelings for each other. I liked how Henry was supportive of Daphne as she balanced the stress of working in the ER and trying to find a path in the medical profession.

The time travel / fish out of water themes of the story brings moments of levity between Daphne and Henry, including Henry adapting to twenty-first century innovations.

I recommend this book for readers who enjoy time travel romance.

Thank you to Elizabeth and Montlake for the eARC copy via NetGalley in exchange for my voluntarily leaving an honest review.

Thanks to NetGalley and Montlake for the ARC!
First of all, I am a sucker for a home travel love story, so the premise of this book hooked me hard! Unfortunately, it didn’t live up to expectations. The character development wasn’t really there and the love story felt rushed and a bit unbelievable. Though the language of a gentleman from the 1880s was attempted, it wasn’t executed all that well and this was evident toward the end of the book (I won’t say more to prevent spoilers) and the writing overall felt clunky at times. I almost DNF’d this and gave it up for a week or two before deciding to finish.

This was a cute time travel romance. I do wish the ending was reversed (without giving anything away).

This was a lovely book about time traveling. I just got recently more into time travel stories and was very happy when I saw this. This book also made me realize how many books I've read where at least one character is called Daphne.

Daphne is in her first year as a resident in emergency medicine. One day she's riding her bike when a man appears out of thin air right in front of her. She doens't know where he came from and doesn't really believe Henry when he claims to be from 1885.

It didn't took me long to get into the story and I also didn't really want to stop the book. It was a bit cheesy at times but I had a really good time reading it. The book is under 250 pages but didn't really feel like it. The characters were well crafted and I enjoyed reading about them. There were some moment where I wished it was a bit more detailed but overall, and especially considered how long the book was, it was a good story.

The romance between the two was sweet and very enjoyable to read. In general I really liked the writing style and plan on reading more by Elizabeth Davis!

Thank you to Netgalley and Montlake for this EARC!

Elizabeth Davis’s Time for You is a delightful time-travel romance that blends historical charm with modern heart. When Daphne Griffin, a first-year emergency medicine resident in Minnesota, literally crashes into Henry MacDonald—a man who claims to be from 1885 Edinburgh—the story takes off with wit, wonder, and a touch of destiny A.

Davis crafts a love story that’s both whimsical and emotionally grounded. Henry’s old-world manners and Daphne’s twenty-first-century grit make for a compelling contrast, and their chemistry is undeniable. As Henry navigates the marvels of modern life—from smartphones to feminism—and Daphne wrestles with the impossibility of their connection, the novel explores what it means to belong, and whether love can truly transcend time.
It’s a story that asks: if you met your soulmate from another century, would you fight for the future—or rewrite the past?

3.75 stars. I actually really appreciated that this book was shorter than a normal romance book as I feel like the ending is pretty obvious once you get to like 50% into the book. There was definitely some things I wished had more detail, but as a fun quick read you couldn't go wrong with this book.
I also liked this series because it delved into magical realism and used astrology to describe what was going on. Even though I still did not fully understand what was going on, I liked that there was a legitimate reason to what was going on.
I liked the plot line of the FMC's career and how she was unhappy with her job when it was something that she had been working on for her whole life. It showed that it is okay to pivot and make changes in your life.
While this was a romance book, I did not care a ton about the romance, which made me drop a star since I felt that I should have cared more about their ending.

This book is SO cute, features a time-traveling SCOTTISH love interest, AND it can be read in a day! This author’s new to me, but I was attracted to the cover on NetGalley and then the summary. I’m a sucker for time-traveling romances and this book did not disappoint.

When we meet Daphne, she’s a first-year resident, going through the motions. She’s been so focused on her career goals that she’s neglected searching for a partner, until now. After a comically disastrous date, Daphne winds up crashing her bicycle into a man that literally appears out of thin air. The arrogant man, Henry, keeps claiming that he’s from 1885, but Daphne’s convinced that he has a head injury and drags him back to her hospital to get checked out. When it’s clear that Henry is telling the truth, Daphne and her first-year resident BFFs decide to take him in and try to find a way to get him back home.

Considering that this book is under 250 pages long, it was impressive that the author made me care about all these characters and wrap everything up with no loose ends. The time-traveling bit was a little unbelievable, but the book isn’t meant to be taken too seriously. It’s laugh-out-loud funny at times, sweet and a little sexy, and also tugged at my heartstrings as Daphne and Henry fall in love, even though they know that Henry needs to get back to 1885. I really liked how we got Henry’s POV and a glimpse of his life as well. Watching these characters grow and find genuine happiness again together and separately was so satisfying, along with the ending.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC. And thank you Elizabeth Davis for writing this book!

This was cute and a fairly quick read. It's great if you want a nice, lighthearted, romance centered read. The time travelling aspects of the story are there (and mildly interesting) but not all too prominent (besides adding drama and a time limit on the relationship).

The story itself is not too deep- man from 200 years ago appears, where daily life and social norms are wildly different- and shenanigans ensue. This book focuses more on the two main characters' developing relationship and individual struggles (Henry learning about the 21st century and trying to find a way home, Daphne and her career dilemmas)

The characters were fun, though I think that Daphne was more developed and had more personality than Henry. She was definitely easy to relate to... dating in this day and age is russian roulette. The bad Tinder date made me cringe so hard- who hasn't had one of those?
Henry himself was the comic relief of the story. I appreciated the author giving him a little development arc where he changed some of his outdated views (though it felt a little quick lol)
The supporting friend group were fun (although there was probably 1 or 2 more characters than needed- I only really feel like Vibol and Ellie had a presence or purpose in the story).

The story did feel a little... long? Although the book is pretty short, I did feel like it dragged a bit past the midway point.
I would have also liked a little more development in the relationship between Daphne and Henry. We are told more than shown that they fall in love (and it creeps a little bit towards instalove territory), and I would have liked a little more, just to really make me feel like these 2 loved each other.

Overall, I enjoyed this as a (moderately) quick, cute read, and would recommend to fans of romance (and period romances!).

Daphne is on her way home from a shift at the hospital when she sees a shimmer and then crashes into some guy dressed up in period dress, he says he is from Scotland in 1855, Daphne decides he has a head injury and takes him back to work.A

Henry is a Trader from Edinburgh in 1855 one minute he is sitting in his study the next he ends up in present day Minnesota and gets hit by a girl on something called a bicycle.

When it becomes apparently that Henry is indeed telling the truth, Daphne and her fellow first year residents decide its their responsibility to make sure Henry doesnt come to harm but also work out how to get him back to 1855.

The only problem Daphne is getting more and more drawn to Henry and Henry to Daphne but there is no future in a long term relationship over more than a century.

This was a very interesting book, although it contains time travel it doesnt fill the book through with science. the characters are very engaging and you really wish there was a way for Daphne and Henry could be together but that could never happen, or could it. ?

A different story but extremely enjoyable worth a dabble outside your comfort zone.

Thank you, NetGalley, for the ARC!!

This was my first time reading a time-travel romance, and I loved it. Time for You was such a lovely story, with a little bit of everything: romance, professional life choices, social criticism, friendship, and family.

One of my favorite elements was the social criticism—presenting real social issues through a comparison of the past and the future, highlighting both the progress we’ve made and the areas we still need to work on as a society (in both time periods).

From my perspective, there were two major topics: Henry and Daphne's romantic relationships and their professional life. I wish there had been more development of these themes in an integrated way, because at times, they felt separate and a bit out of the blue, even though Henry and Daphne supported each other in both areas. There were many opportunities for these topics to build together, but often the focus shifted abruptly from one to the other. Deepening the relationship development would have helped integrate their thoughts and feelings about romance and career—and shown how they grew in both aspects.

I also loved the support from friends and family—and how the story illustrated that sometimes we assume people will be disappointed in our choices, but when we communicate openly, their reactions can be very different from the story we’ve created in our heads.

I lo-lo-love time travel romance books, so naturally, I was excited to try Time for You and hoped it would fit on my imaginary shelf of magical realism. Unfortunately, after trying for the past two months, it just didn’t click for me.

This may simply be my third-person POV preference—I rarely connect as deeply with that perspective. The premise is lovely, and I think readers who enjoy third-person storytelling might love this more than I did.
